I can understand your feeling. You probably not experienced thee joy of being slowly starved to death and being forced to perform what would be backbreaking manual labor by someone that is well fed and healthy. Nor have you been given the honor of watching your friends and peers being used for bayonet practice. Or experienced the joy of volunteering to be used for said practice. And how exciting it was to watch your buddies being buried alive. And, if by some miracle one survives treatment such as that, one’s health is ruined, which most of the time leads to one’s productive life being kaput. I agree with you. Only a true hater would hold a grudge for something as trivial as something such as these being done to one.
After reading of the atrocities committed on our Service Men and Women, my thought was not enough Japanese were killed.
